FHA Loan and VA Loan Compared – Who Wins?

Often times when a Veteran is getting ready to purchase a home they will ask me “is a VA Loan the best route for me to go?” My answer to that question is simple…Yes! Truth be told if I were purchasing a home I would ask the exact same question. It’s important to understand the loan product and type that you are receiving (after all it is for 30 years) and that it’s competitive against other mortgage options. Reasons such as this is exactly why I wanted to put together a quick video explaining the differences between FHA Loans and VA Loans and most importantly how they stack up against each other when put side by side.

It’s important to understand and remember that every loan has different charactoristics associated with it. For example on a VA Loan the VA Loan allows a Veteran to purchase a home up to $417,000 with no money down. A FHA Loan however caps the Veteran (in Maricopa County) at $270,050. Furthermore FHA also requires a 3.5 % where as the VA Loan does not. Lastly the FHA loan requires something called Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) which requires .85% of the loan amount on an annual basis making the FHA significantly more expensive over the life of the loan.

Take a moment to watch the video and see how the VA Loan compares and of course if you have any questions over anything at all feel free to roger up with me and I would be honored to be of service to you.
